When communicating with their employees, most firms have no idea who they're talking to.Good communication is about knowing your audience. But if your organization is only focused on knowing your customers, James Root says you're forgetting a whole other cohort: your employees.Root is a senior partner at Bain & Company, Chair of Bain Futures, and author of The Archetype Effect, in which he reveals a simple but overlooked truth: people want different things from their jobs. Despite this, most companies' approach to employee motivation and reward is one-size-fits-all. “Every aspect of the standard organization model is built around this idea of the average worker,” he says. The problem? No average worker exists. “What people want from work is highly varied,” he says, and while many organizations spend millions to learn what drives their customers, “The mystery is why haven't we applied that same thinking to our workers?"In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Root and host Matt Abrahams explore how firms can transform organizational success by understanding their internal audience. Whether you're trying to attract new talent or encourage better performance from the team you already have, Root's research shows why it's about knowing your audience — recognizing that different people are motivated by fundamentally different things at work.Episode Reference Links:James RootJames' Book: The Archetype EffectThe Archetype QuizEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across GenerationsEp.104 How to Change: Building Better Habits and Behaviors (And Getting Out of Your Own Way) Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - The Evolving Nature of Work (05:21) - Leading Multigenerational Teams (08:50) - The Six Archetypes Explained (13:55) - The Archetypes Evolution (19:33) - The Final Three Question (22:51) - Conclusion  ********This Episode is brought to you by Strawberry.me.

The future of workforce efficiency is skills-based, and organizations that fail to make this pivot risk being left behind.

But the benefits extend far beyond recruitment, touching everything from internal mobility to workforce planning.

Through real-world case studies, Shrikant demonstrates how these systems have transformed recruitment processes and leadership development programs. He emphasizes that building a skills ontology isn't a one-time project but an ongoing commitment requiring continuous adaptation to organizational needs.Shrikant Pattathil also provides practical guidance for HR leaders navigating the build-versus-partner decision when implementing skills platforms. He advocates for a strategic approach that balances custom development of core components with partnerships for standard functionalities.

"Dos & Don'ts" für Kommunikation auf Entscheider-Ebene Führung ist immer auch Kommunikation. Kommunikation ist ein wichtiges und auch komplexes Thema, das ein entscheidender Schlüssel ist – im Miteinander und in Hinblick auf Erfolg im Unternehmen. Auf LinkedIn hat jemand den Wunsch geäußert, dass wir Kommunikation auf Entscheider-Ebene in den Fokus nehmen, und das tun wir gerne. Die Kernfrage dabei ist in Abgrenzung zu allgemeiner Kommunikation sicherlich, was Kommunikation auf Entscheider-Ebene konkret bedeutet. Wo grenzt sie sich ab von allgemeiner Kommunikation? Und da sind wir schnell bei der Frage, wer eigentlich unser Gegenüber im anstehenden Gespräch ist. Zu einer guten Gesprächsvorbereitung gehört zunächst die Beantwortung folgender Fragen: Mit wem kommuniziere ich? Was für eine Persönlichkeit ist das? Ein CFO ist vielleicht eher im Bereich Zahlen, Daten und Fakten zu Hause, während der CEO häufig ganzheitlicher denkt und als Visionär oder Stratege das große Ganze sieht. Außerdem ist ein Blick über den Tellerrand erlaubt: Während für mich im Arbeitsalltag ein bestimmtes Thema Relevanz hat, über das ich mit einer C-Level-Führungskraft gerne sprechen möchte, bedeutet mein Anliegen für sie ein Detail. Sie verantwortet einen deutlich größeren Bereich bzw. womöglich das gesamte Unternehmen, sieht sich komplexen Herausforderungen gegenüber, trägt die Verantwortung für Gewinn und Verlust und priorisiert daher vielleicht ganz anders. Ebenso wie der Mitarbeiter ist die C-Level-Führungskraft in erster Linie ein Mensch, keine Maschine. Daher dürfen wir uns die folgenden sieben Kernprinzipien zu Herzen nehmen, wenn wir mit Entscheidern kommunizieren. Die 7 Kernprinzipien für Kommunikation auf Entscheider-Ebene: 1) Klar und auf den Punkt: Entscheider haben wenig Zeit. Formuliere kurz, präzise und lösungsorientiert. 2) Relevanz vor Detailtiefe: Zeige, warum dein Thema für die Entscheider-Ebene wichtig ist. Nicht alles erklären. Das "Warum" zählt mehr als das "Wie". 3) Strategische Perspektive einnehmen: Denke wie ein Entscheider: Was bedeutet dein Thema fürs große Ganze? Umsatz, Risiko, Reputation? 4) Daten und Haltung: Untermauere deine Aussagen mit Zahlen, aber zeige auch eine klare Meinung oder Empfehlung. 5) Selbstbewusst, nicht anbiedernd: Kommuniziere auf Augenhöhe, mit Respekt, aber ohne Unterwürfigkeit. 6) Timing: Der richtige Moment zählt. Kenne den Kontext und achte auf das Timing für Vorschläge oder Kritik. 7) Vertrauen durch Verlässlichkeit: Wer vorbereitet, ehrlich und lösungsorientiert ist, wird als Gesprächspartner ernst genommen.
